Fig. 1 illustrates the portable electron device (100) of the outfit NFC function that reads passive NFC label (101).NFC label can be according to various standard codes, including, but not limited to ISO/IEC14443(type A and type B the two), various MIFARE implementation and FeliCa.This electronic installation provides inductive energy (103) to NFC label.NFC label is made response with static unified resource designator (URI) (104), and this URI encodes by this way: can start the proprietary application on electronic installation.This URI also comprises for the unique identifier character string of each label.Identical URI can be with the form coding of rapid reaction (QR) code to the surface of label.The action of reading tag will trigger this device and start described application, and described unique string is transmitted as a parameter.Then this application is sent to cloud service by user id, cryptographic hash and unique identifier character string.This information is verified in cloud service, and the action that is associated with unique tags identifier of execution, or this action is carried out in the order as the input on portable electron device based on being sent by user.This action or order are to carry out on the lock being associated with label identifier or lock server, are used for activating door lock 102.Described server sends to described electronic installation by the acknowledge message performing an action.

Fig. 2 illustrates the embodiment that the another kind of the processing shown in Fig. 1 can Gong be selected, and the portable electron device that is wherein equipped with video camera reads rapid reaction (QR) code, rather than reads URI by NFC.In this case, the URI mentioning in 104 should be with QR form coding, rather than uses NFC data type.User starts QR code reader application, scans this QR code, and this yard resolved to URI in this application and this application uses the unique identifier embedding in this QR code to carry out the action of actuation lock accordingly.

What Fig. 3 described is the door lock 102 of a type in release 302 and locking (304) state.Stubborn hand (thumbturn) (300) quilt is clockwise or be rotated counterclockwise to drive lock shaft, and this lock shaft will insert or extract doorframe bolt (301).Can carry out this stubborn hand of long-range actuating with encrypting wireless radio transmission, this encryption wireless radio transmission is deciphered by special-purpose on-board circuitry.If successfully decrypted described code, this circuit will start a motor, and this motor will drive the kinematic train of rotation lock shaft.Such door lock is can buy on market, and provides for illustrative purposes here, and in order that provides context to those skilled in the art.

How the lock server (403) that Fig. 4 illustrates user is connected to web services (400) by tunnelling user's fire wall (401).This server is also responsible for the locking and unlocking order (in the disclosure also referred to as " request ") or code send to lock.

Web services (400) is controlled all signals that are routed to terminal lock safely.Thus, it will receive the order of certificate viewer and web services of controlling oneself, and in the situation that all authentication requestings have all been met, they is transferred to the lock of expectation.

For the initial configuration with user side's minimum is correctly passed on order by various network address translation (nat) and firewall system, web services and lock server (403) have participated in containment (SSH) reverse tunnel and have set up.When locking server first connection to Internet connection, it will attempt using SSH implementation to initiate to be connected with one or more security socket layers of web services.If lock server can successfully be connected to web services, this web services will be initiated reverse tunnel, thereby a forwarding port on web services has been bound to the second port on lock server.Adopt in this way, the request that web server receives will be forwarded to lock server, and consults without carry out active with network address translation (nat).Can use firewall rule further to retrain request.Communication protocol between two servers is well-known to those skilled in the art.By making to lock the tunnel that server initiates to arrive web services, web services can be accessed lock server at any time, and without first consulting NAT, has therefore realized more coherent available service.

Lock server (403) can be directly connected to user's Internet service, or more likely by adopting NAT and the router of firewall technology or the Internet service that switch (402) is connected to user.In guard system, whether do not have these parts, reverse tunnel is set up (401) will realize the two-way communication between lock server and web services.

Lock server (403) is safeguarded reverse tunnel (401) and reception and the fill order with web services, to change the state of lock.It is connected to router or Internet service, wired or wireless Internet connection.One is plugged in lock server with the remote control unit of lock radio communication.

Remote unit (404) is directly built in lock server, or is plugged in lock server by the connector such as (but being not limited to) USB.The type that depends on wireless lock, remote unit will obtain a signal and be converted into the form that is suitable for wireless lock.Then this signal will be transferred to lock and be performed by radio frequency.

Between remote unit and lock, carry out bi-directional RF communicate by letter in the situation that, lock can be by beaming back to long-range the reception that a signal carrys out confirmation signal.Also can be like this: lock can be sent back to out of Memory long-range by signal, comprise current battery status and locking any fault of generation.Meanwhile, keypad command signal can be transferred to long-rangely with the lock of relevant keypad, this command signal is sent to web services by lock server then, to do not carry out authenticated with personal electronic device.

Fig. 5 provides another embodiment of the parts that provide in Fig. 4.Here, lock server changes into by such as USB(500) connector be connected to relay and control circuit (501).Can send order by this connector, to indicate disconnection and the closure of single or multiple relays.So can by this way this relay and control circuit be connected to building electric control lock framework: relay can remotely trigger the release of electronic control type lock (3402) in a bit of set period.Door can be opened in the release of the electric control lock on doorjamb and alarm or the security system of any necessity can temporarily be forbidden.

Relay and control circuit can be controlled a plurality of separately addressable relays, thereby lock server can be to a plurality of electric control lock addressing, or according to another optional mode, to other device that can work in coordination with or independently control with relay such as warning system, security system or other electrical equipment, carry out addressing.

Fig. 6 illustrates the electronic installation of communicating by letter with web services by the Internet, and this web services transfers a request to local lock server.This device can communicate with the Internet web services by providing internuncial any data to connect (600), and these data connect including, but not limited to Wi-Fi ^tM, 3G, EDGE, SMS and Ethernet.

700, user reads near field communication tag with their portable electron device.NFC label is encoded with application URI and unique code.In general, system-level interface can read any enough near labels automatically according to system-level agreement.In some instances, this device can read NFC label after being introduced into possibly dedicated mode, in this case, should first this electronic installation be set to suitable pattern, to enable NFC read functions.

701, this electronic installation identifies the suitable application of the descriptor binding of URI file type descriptor and startup and this type.In this case, this system starts the application of special-purpose lock and unique ID that the NFC label with just having read is associated sends this application to.

702, this application will notify web services it read label and transmitted relevant unique id of this NFC label simultaneously.Web services will be in this application of 703 authentications, to check read requests to come from legal logon account.If this request is considered to illegal, 709, notify described application.If yet request is legal, 704, web server will be sent to the request corresponding with NFC label id the lock server corresponding with this NFC label id.This request can be locking request, definite time limit release request or switching (toggle) request (sending the request contrary with the request sending before).Lock server can be corresponding with a door lock or a plurality of door lock.

705, lock server will be received in 704 requests of sending and will initiate this request.If lock server unavailable (if for example, this server does not connect power supply), 709, web server will notify this request of application not to be performed.If lock server is available, it will resolve this request.If this request is for example certain door of locking, locks server and will give an order to the hardware unit being associated with this door (404), to initiate locking or unlocking request 706 with lock 102.707, locking 102 will activate.708, if locking successfully, this activates, to lock server and will notify web server, this web server can be notified lock application.

Use the user of smart phone or portable electron device (100) to authenticate by the combination of various authentication methods.

User must be upper by authenticating with operated lock in web service (800), and this is reflected by the cookie storing on user browser.Web services then can be asked the state of user conversation and search and this user-dependent information from this cookie.Then this session status can be transferred to this user, whether indicate them need to provide correct voucher with operated lock by browser.

If lock owner or keeper have made request, additional form of authentication can be pin code (801), wherein before each action of operated lock, will on phone, input this pin code.If the preassigned pin code of this pin code and user matches, for individual part or for a time period, this user can be by authentication (that is, within five minutes, any action for lock can be performed).

Any action that authenticated has been made all will be transferred near this locality lock web server (802) of door (space one side of pinning), and web server is locked in this this locality will trigger the interior relay of dead bolt (strike) that is spliced directly to door lock or door to Long-distance Control or the triggering of the order of door lock wireless transmission then.

As a kind of method of request access door, can be by a passive NFC or RFID(radio-frequency (RF) identification) label (808) is attached to a side.Such passive label still can require user's the electronic installation with NFC or RFID function to be authenticated by web services.Alternatively, the NFC mentioning or RFID unit (808) may be in fact active reader or write device module, and this module is wired in the server below of secure border of door.In this case, this electronic installation will send encryption key by NFC or RFID, then this encryption key can be transferred to described server and compare with other form of authentication of mentioning (such as the authen session on consumer electronic device), to allow access door.

Another kind of form of authentication is by the geo-location on electronic installation (804), such as the GPS by this electronic installation or the definite location of similar satellite triangulation (809).Longitude and latitude data can be transferred to web services, and web services can compare these data and the preassigned longitude and latitude point of distributing to lock then.If the matching result of these points is (that is, within the scope of 50 feet of predetermined coordinate) within preassigned error range, suppose that user has passed through the authentication of lock, suppose that other the indispensable form of authentication has also all obtained confirmation.

If user's electronic installation is connected to or detects and locks near wireless (" Wi-Fi ^tMthe SSID(service set identifier of ") network (805)), this can by determine user in lock to set a distance in and as the authentication of another kind of form.And user's electronic installation can be directly connected to server (802), in the disabled situation of any web services, get around these web services, realized thus the authentication under " off line " state.

The authentication of another kind of form can be that request user takes static state or the dynamic Q R code (808) on (806) door side by their electronic installation.This QR code can be printed on passive or active NFC or RFID label or reader top, or it can be presented on display.The in the situation that of static QR code, suppose that user also authenticates by another kind of method, such as the session with web services, should identify so described lock and transmit an order for this lock.The in the situation that of dynamic Q R code, this code can be changed to unique code with preassigned time interval wheel, thereby confirms the time that user takes pictures and they are presented by specific QR code display, and thus as a kind of form of authentication.

Depend on the combination of the authentication method that lock management person requires, door (807) will, according to the success of those authentication attempts, allow terminal user to carry out manipulation.The example of its indefiniteness can be requirement user: by geo-location (804), confirm their position, the web services of accessing by the phone with them (800) has carried out authentication and successfully inputted their preassigned pin code (801) by cookie.

Fig. 9 illustrates a kind of like this sight: the people's request access that is not wherein authorized to be the user of lock.The upper unwarranted account of electronic installation (900) attempts to use the method (103 and 104) of introducing to read NFC/QR code (101) above.This device will be attempted to authenticate by web services, yet because this device is not authorized, so web services can this door of release.Application on device (901) receives the response from web services, and whether this user of this response indication haves no right to access this lock entity, and will point out this undelegated user to wish to the administrator request access right of lock.If 900 user selects " being ", the keeper of lock will receive a request of access on their electronic installation (100).This keeper can receive that this request user's profile information is as prompting, and according to circumstances this profile information is including, but not limited to name, photo, e-mail address or professional mechanism.This keeper can remote de-locking door and according to circumstances claimant is added to authorized user or refusal claimant access.

Fig. 9 has also introduced and can how this service class be similar to doorbell and use.When visitor is scanned label (101), owner can receive that described visitor is just in the notice (902) of request access.This is similar to visitor can ask to enter the situation of private residence in the ordinary course of things by pressing doorbell aloud, press doorbell aloud and can notify owner doorway to have visitor.Yet utilize this service, no matter owner is in any position, and needing only them has to the data connection of their electronic installation, will be notified.Extra benefit is that owner can remote de-locking door and record the time that visitor accesses by this services request.

Figure 10 illustrates and can how by simple message service (SMS) or text message service, to use this system.

Be invited to user to preassigned telephone number send with them, select in advance or allocate the text message to their pin code (1001) in advance.Together with this pin code, this user sends an order to web services, to change the state of lock, such as the order of release.

Cell phone provider receives text message (1000) and its content is transferred to web services together with the telephone number of this subscriber phone.The telephone number of web services inspection user and given pin code, to wish that for user the independent action that lock is carried out authenticates this user.

If web services success identity this user and decipher their order, it will be transferred to electronic lock (102) this signal, this electronic lock is carried out suitable order, such as locking or release.

Figure 11 introduces wireless key apparatus or key card (1102), it comprises unique identification digital signature, and the form that this digital signature can be controlled (MAC) address or equivalent alternative to, private key/private key to, unique sequence number, unique media interviews with the public/private keys of encrypting occurs.Web services (1100) is stored one or more elements (right half of PKI, private key/private key, sequence number) of this unique signature, is also storing together the data of indicating which signature which locking system of Internet access (1101) simultaneously.Web services (1100) is transferred to suitable locking system (1101) by the signature through authentication, directly pass on, or be that indirect means other communication means between web services and locking system of introducing by other places in mobile phone, electronics base station or present patent application is passed on.

When wireless key apparatus (1102) is given an order to locking system (1101), this locking system first by searching the unique signature being associated with this device (1102) in local storage, or by attempting communicating with web services before processing this request, whether the signature of checking this wireless key apparatus is authorized to be and sends the corresponding command.These orders can be limited to thinner granularity rank, such as other attribute of date, time, scheduling, degree of closeness, wireless signal strength or transmission between key device, locking system and/or web services (1100).All orders that wireless key apparatus (1102) sends can go on record and be stored on locking system and/or be transferred to web services.The not authorized order of locking system and the device of using will can not be performed, but sending of these orders can be transferred to the electronic installation that other has been authorized by web services, so knowing, the keeper of locking system having the wireless key apparatus of the use locking system that is not authorized attempting to use locking system.Keeper can make response by dynamically giving wireless key apparatus (1102) authority.

Except with locking system direct communication, wireless key apparatus can also be communicated by letter with middle device, this middle device can with locking system (1101), web services (1100) or direct communication each other, so that equivalent function, expanded scope to be provided, provide the proximity test of enhancing, the order that provides another Gong to select send mode or pass on and whether locked system status, device exist or environmental data is relevant additional information.

Figure 12 introduction be to comprise low-power and the wireless mobile device of high power (1200) simultaneously, this low-power and high power radio communicate by honeycomb, wired or wireless Internet Protocol, so as between web services (1201) and locking system (1202) transfer of data safely.

In the embodiment of an example, web services (1201) is used code, password or the secret of only having this web services to know with locking system (1202) set up the communication system of an encryption and select by mobile device (1200) route these communicate by letter (1200).Message can comprise unencrypted routing iinformation, only have the routing iinformation of the encryption that mobile device can decipher, and the enciphered data of only having locking system to decipher.Owing to sending to the data of locking system from web services (1201), it is enciphered data, so mobile device (1200) may not check these data, but still can use the additional routing iinformation that sends to this mobile device that described data are delivered to suitable locking system (1202).The enciphered data that sends to locking system (1202) can comprise locking, release or otherwise start the order of locking system, read the locked system status that comprises battery life order, at this, lock the order of authentication mobile device, the order that authenticates other device on locking system, the order of upgrading locking system firmware or the order of read access record data.The data that send to mobile device (1200) can comprise routing iinformation, the unique signed data of this routing iinformation including, but not limited to being associated with locking system (1202) and web services (1201).

In the embodiment of an example, with it, wired or high power radio comes to communicate with web services (1201) mobile device (1200), uses its low-power radio and locking system (1202) to communicate simultaneously.High power and low power communication channel can have can be by the additional password of the combination deciphering of initial, centre and/or end device.

In the embodiment of the example of introducing at Figure 13, when user's approach locking system (1300), they trigger infrared ray, sound, radio or a vibration transducer.The electric weight of this sensor consumption is far smaller than radio transmitting apparatus and web services (1301) communicates required electric weight by agreement, and described agreement can be including, but not limited to TCP(transmission control protocol)/IP (Internet Protocol)/UDP (User Datagram Protoco (UDP)), HTTP(HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)), HTTPS(hypertext transmission security agreement) and SSH(containment).This is then by the high power power consumption parts that almost the middle sensor of waken system (1300) is not using at once.

Once locking system (1300) is waken up and in receiving the state of order, it can change order or process from web services to web services (1301) solicited status and directly sends to its oneself queued command, such as sending to the Short Message Service order that will be transferred to locking system of web services.

High power radio device to web services (1301) requesting state information in portable electron device (1302) will receive the locked system status after now upgrading.Alternatively, high power radio device other compatible radio device in can hunting zone.

Approaching user can directly send locking, release or status request to the present wireless locking system (1300) that started, or by these requests of web services (1301) route, this web services is then transferred to locking system by these orders.This significant prolongation locking system (1300) battery life and saved bandwidth.

In Figure 14, mobile device (1400) can comprise a plurality of radio, especially those radio relevant with long haul communication such as honeycomb or satellite communication.Honeycomb or satellite that it can arrive web services by it connect the state that remotely sends order or request locking system (1401) to locking system (1401), and this web services can connect (1402) by another honeycomb or satellite subsequently these orders or request are transferred to locking system.

Locking system (1401) moves high power dedicated radio link discontinuously, to extend the life-span of any electronic storage device, depends on used power-saving technology, likely can be by the several orders of magnitude of described life.High power dedicated radio link can be including, but not limited to honeycomb or satellite communication.Locking system (1401) starts high power radio company and fetches the method that transmission state and request command use and can comprise the wireless degree of closeness that detects another kind of power, such as those radio that comprise in mobile device.

In the embodiment of the example of introducing in Figure 15, locking system (1500) can be recorded and knocked at the door or close the door event by increase vibration transducer.These data can be used for lock " to wake up " to high power state from low power state, thus it can with web services (1501) or mobile device (13402) direct communication, to indicate this knock at the door or vibrate.This sensor can be adjusted to and can distinguish dissimilar repeating motion, what these repeating motions should be indicated is to knock at the door, rather than closes the door or open the door.

Web services (1501) can be by any scope data-interface by data transfer to mobile device, with indicate someone on doorway, latching operation or close the door or open the door event.Web services can also be got back to this device on the opportunity of high power state by message transport by operative installations, last time locking or the unlock command sent such as this locality, and receive lock status information from locking system (1500).

Mobile device (13402) or web services (1501) can receive and the sequence of knocking at the door, latching operation or the relevant data of event of closing the door or open the door, and notify user.If the people who knocks at the door is known, described notice can also comprise with whom in the relevant data of knocking at the door, the unique signed data the MAC Address being associated such as the people institute Tape movement device as with knocking at the door or unique sequence of knocking at the door.

The disclosure comprises the multiple method that is used for detecting whether approach locking system of user.In the embodiment of various example, this can comprise and detect locking or unlocking operation, alarm or existence are connected to the device of the Internet, and can comprise to user and authorize the suitable access right to this locking system.The broad object of the feature based on approaching of locking system comprises: people detected and/or authorize the authority that they control some resource (no matter being electronic lock, the teakettle that for example connects the Internet (tea kettle) or certain other device), or control a device, or identify the user of device.The formulation of " locking system " is intended to comprise these devices.

Figure 16 has introduced by several different methods and has detected (locking system) (1601) that user exists.User can be awarded and use the web services that sends remote command to locking system, or for example points out the internal data store device whether this user is correctly authenticated on locking system, sends the ability for the series of orders of locking system (1601).

The current order that can send of authenticated may be bound, comprise the particular command that can send, can be from data and the possible constraint based on time and scheduling of system request.Locking system (1601) can detect user or personnel's existence, this locking system by the fact of this existence directly or indirectly transfer to and have the authenticated of suitably accessing the authority of locking system by portable electron device (1603) by locking system web services (1602), such as keeper.

User's detection can be undertaken by the specific wireless power technology on mobile device or electronic certificate (1600), this electronic certificate can directly communicate by letter with locking system (1601) or can by locking system (1601) user near time detect passively.Depend on user whether just in approach locking system still away from it, this system can send different notices to locking system web services (1602), and, in the embodiment of an example, send to directly or indirectly interested authenticated.Whether locking system (1601) can also approach the order of still sending out different away from locking system from movable contact according to user being detected, such as release when approaching or remove warning, or away from time locking and start warning.Similarly, the concept that electronic certificate based on user or mobile device (1600) are authorized user's access right can be extended to the device of any suitable startup, such as but be not limited to equipment, vehicle, electrical equipment, industrial system, security system, access control system, computing machine and other device.

Close user's set or voucher (1600) can receive the notice about their Internet access and so on any order on this device, as long as they are authenticated to be, are the users of Internet access.Can also exist by detecting someone by following technology, these technology are including, but not limited to the motion detection of specific sound, optical sensor, accelerometer and any appropriate format that passive or active IR sensor, radio signature detect, receive in motion on video camera, microphone.Depend on the complexity of any these sensors and the existence of electronic certificate, be similar to the mode of introducing above, can remind authenticated specific people's existence.

Enter and exist the mobile device (1600) of locking system (1601) near zone detecting can receive such notice: this notice is about the ability from this this system of device request access, to send order and receive order from this device to this device.If user has been awarded the authority of accessing this device by locking system web services (1602), they can send order and receive order from this device to this device immediately.

Depend on for detecting by locking system (1601) radio communication protocol whether mobile device (1600) exists, may need " pairing " to process and guarantee safety, the communication of encrypting.Although selected radio standard can provide diversified closed matching method, but open matching method still can be safely for mobile device and locking system are matched, although there is not physical contact between this mobile device and locking system.Open pair system can allow to approach the suitable mobile application of having of this system and wireless all mobile devices and the pairing of this system, yet, except depending on the initial pairing of the before shared signature of locking system and mobile device, got rid of the ability that sends and receive from this system any order to this system.These keys can be cancelled or issue to the web services that locking system connects (1602).

Alternatively, knocking at the door or knocking at the door continuously on closed pair system can be triggered the safety pairing between current device (1600) and locking system (1601), although even this device may be by the user outside secure border, carried and this locking system just occupied.If have keypad and pin input on locking system, can also input the pairing between mobile device (1600) and locking system (1601) with this keypad and pin so.

Figure 17 introduction be movement detection systems or radio detection locking system, mobile device (1703), the electronic certificate of this system by personnel or the infrared signature (1702) that detects body heat are carried out testing staff (1701).

Detecting device (1702) then by the message transport that detects event to web services (1704), this information comprise the available information relevant with these personnel be whether from they mobile device or electronic certificate obtain.This information can, by web services for multiple object, including, but not limited to triggering locking system, suitable user being enabled or remove warning system, or be notified third party to apply or serve so that it can carry out an action.

If the electronic certificate of detecting device (1702) access authentication or the radio signal of mobile device (1703), it can send one and carries out personnel from the infrared signature by them and detect the different signal of sent signal.This can realize in the infrared signature trigger alarm system for unknown, to the seamless forbidding warning system of authenticated.

To the restriction of authenticated and new user's authentication can be carried out by the web services by the Internet and communication detector (1704).Specific action by the complex detection device decipher such as passive infrared sensor or video camera also can be for authenticated.

Near being by HA Global Positioning Satellite (1801) or depending on by using other known radio signal to carry out to mobile device mobile device (1800) that other similar techniques of triangulation detect and appear at locking system (1802) of Figure 18 introduction.

Then, mobile device (1800) can be selected available nearest locking system (1802) automatically, thereby user can be when starting mobile device, and be likely in the application that is exclusively used in control locking system (1802) on starting mobile device (1800), to this locking system, send order immediately.

Mobile device (1800) can store with it how based on diversified method, to select the relevant information of locking system (1802).Mobile device receives the coordinate of locking system in the time of can authenticating the user of this mobile device registration or this mobile device.These coordinates can be determined by multiple means by locking device oneself, and these means are including, but not limited to GPS, Wi-Fi ^tM, cellular signal or IP address search.Alternatively, it is manually input trigger position of application that the locking system (1802) being associated with mobile device (1800) can be asked user.When this triggering can occur in order and sent to locking system for the first time, such as during its first registers or after the order that has sent some from ad-hoc location being detected.Location trigger coordinate can be stored locally on mobile device, and is sent in addition the locking system web services being associated, and this locking system web services then authenticates client by this data transfer to other, thereby they can avoid any initial setting up.

For the object of safety, the user who has authenticated can be restricted the position detecting based on them at them aspect the ability of locking system transmission order.The keeper of locking system may wish when the order of locking system is restricted to certain degree of closeness, under this degree of closeness, can determine that user has appeared near locking system, now according to accurately pointing out the ability of mobile device coordinate and the degree of be sure oing of these coordinates being introduced certain or do not introduced error range.Can obtain more accurate locating information with multiple positioning factor.

The preference that depends on locking system keeper, some locking system can be open to all users of the suitable mobile application of the execution within the certain degree of closeness scope in this locking system.This makes user can pass through locking system web services request access, to send to locking system or to receive order from locking system.

Locking system can exist the ability of setting up two-way communication between and mobile device own at it another agency as user.Locking system can dynamically arrange constraint condition for certain user, and these users' the mobile device of authentication must be connected to specific Wi-Fi ^tMnetwork, to carry out lock command.Can be by shared internal network or by the heterogeneous networks of setting up in advance for locking system, will be by such as Wi-Fi ^tMthe connection that such technology is carried out is directed to locking system.

Figure 19 introduction be the locking system (1901) being triggered by near the mobile device (1900) entering locking system.Mobile device can be determined by the several different methods of introducing above close to locking system.

Clearly interfere the mobile device (1900) that just can carry out the ability of application upper having without user, can from more rudimentary operating system, send the attention that notice causes user during near predefined " geographical fence (geo-fence) " user.In the embodiment of an example, geographical fence is the virtual boundary of real world geographic area.Geographical fence can be dynamically to generate, in this way round the scope in the certain radius of retail shop or some position.Or geographical fence can be predefined one group of border, is similar to limited access area territory or property boundaries.Also can user the geographical fence of definition.When the user's of position-based service (LBS) location aware device enters or exits geographical fence, this device can receive generated notice, this notice can be for starting special-purpose application, with operational lock system or otherwise generate an event.More rudimentary operating system can be specified this geography fence or the essential data transfer of geographical fence can be moved to application to specific locking system.Depend on the operating system that this is more rudimentary, locking system moves application can be had or not have directly and automatically send radio request with the ability of trigger command to locking system or to the web services being associated with this locking system.

More rudimentary operating system hinders or has eliminated in the situation of ability that mobile application sends wireless instructions therein, the notice of approach locking system can be transferred to user.Then, by this system, by preassigned action (under standardized), this notice being approved to be used to start locking system really moves application and triggers particular command.Depend on more rudimentary operating system and user preference, after mobile device being made to gesture or order, may need to adopt pin code or other acts of authentication to carry out fill order.

If user is correctly by authenticating and having locking exectorial suitable access rights, so when moving application according to the action launching of notification triggers, their order can be carried out immediately, and its reason is that more rudimentary operating system allows to have the access rights that directly or indirectly send wireless instructions to locking system.

Identical prerequisite (premise) can be for enabling and remove warning system.Can towards locking system, move or leave locking system according to whether user being detected, to locking system send for such as locking or release or enable or the system of sounding all clear the triggering of different command.More rudimentary operating system can process whether leave or enter the information that geographical fence is relevant to mobile device.The direction that depends on user be towards or away from locking system and the up-to-date authentication of knowing of user and Access status, the message that transfers to the user of mobile device with the form of notifying can be dynamic.

Locking system move application can be when being loaded according to notice by user immediate execution command.User can be directed to a control panel, and here they can send or receive other order from system to system.

Also mode that can be identical according to the mode with introducing above records and has been endowed the third party device of suitable function or electronic certificate close to locking system.These third party devices can be including, but not limited to possessing phone, computing machine, wrist-watch, panel computer, personal digital assistant and other electronic certificate of radio function.They can pass on approach locking system known or unknown subscriber existence and will be likely can be according to the mode identical with mobile device by authentication, to send order to locking system.The authentication of third party device can be derived from locking system web services.

Although the main operation of locking system can be relevant with Internet connection, thereby it can carry out alternately with the web services that authenticates and cancel access rights for suitable user, but it also can play a role with offline mode, thereby directly communicate with electronic certificate or mobile device.

The in the situation that of off-line operation, approaching mobile device or electronic certificate can be direct directly being authenticated in locking system in logic, and authenticated on the web services being associated.If disconnected with web services, locking system should still can authenticate and the order of the authenticated that receives to control oneself (their mobile device and electronic certificate).Do not rely on the real-time planning chart being connected, time restriction and other constraint condition of web services and should still can be observed by locking system.

The disclosure comprises for allowing the system and method for third party's system access locking system, sending and receiving order.In general this third party's system need to authenticate to authenticate the user (that is, keeper, the owner) of this third party's system by having enough large power.This authentication can at any time be cancelled or be limited.In addition, can directly authorize third party device by access right, such third party device can directly be connected to control it with locking system.This facility also can expand to safety/warning system.

Figure 20 discloses third party's service of the request that has triggered the available resources in access locking (or safety/detection) system (2004).Request from third party's (or send request) system (2000) can send from third party software, and it directly or indirectly derives from third party's web services.In general this request can comprise with locking system (2004) or authorized this system of access, be enough to directly or indirectly to the relevant information of the associated user of the access right of authorizing web services (2001) indication third party to require.From the indirect request of the web services of the request of sending, can derive from by third party's service and post web or the mobile application (2003) of carrying, or derive from the Another application that has been awarded the authority of making such request.

In the embodiment of an example, from the access resources of third party's system and the request of then controlling locking system (2004), need to the authenticated of the due authority of this locking system (2002), ratify by being awarded.Locking system web services (2001) can list the available command of the user's of depending on the request of sending authentication.If met correct authentication, just can authorize the authority of third party's system access system, these access rights can be bound or unrestricted in scope, including, but not limited to the constraint condition such as request time, request quantity, request frequency, request form and the order that can ask.

Once the authentication that has been third party's system made, the user then with third party's system of sufficient authentication can seamlessly send and receive data from locking system to locking system, such as locking or unlock command and locking system request.

Locking system web services can be undertaken alternately by standardized command set and third party's system, to notify in addition it, and then notify user's third party client the information relevant with the state of locking system, these information including, but not limited to such as cancelling, access right, off-line are reported to the police, door state and the such information of battery electric quantity.

Their access right may be because of many factors be cancelled in third party's service of authentication before, and access right or the system of cancelling them with user by through checking abused those relevant factors of (such as the too much order of quantity forwarded or attempt to distort order).Third party's service can be identified by many factors, including, but not limited to application key, IP address, MAC Address and user agent's character string.

Figure 21 shows another example embodiment that can Gong select, and wherein pre-authentication has been passed through in electronic certificate or wireless remote remote control (2102), can send and receive order from locking system (2104) to locking system (2104).Locking system web services and third party's web services (providing in the lump 2101) communicate with the electronic certificate reception from pre-authentication and the client third party's application (2103) that sends order to it." pre-authentication " is that indication locking system is based on being specific to the unique identifier of offline e voucher or the process that rolling token is carried out the order sending from this offline e voucher.

Third party's Client application can be based on such as being predefined in the room (seeing the screen in 2103) that the some time used the triggering of external event with the automatic request access authority of name of electronic certificate.Electronic certificate can disconnect and off-line completely with locking and third party's web services, and but, it still can send the order through authentication to locking system (2104), the unique identifier of this electronic certificate as long as this system has been told.Electronic identifier can be by user direct input or by the indirect input the near zone such as the system of entering, trigger the action with locking system, wherein near zone be electronic certificate can with the maximum magnitude of locking system success communication.

Electronic certificate can or carry the mobile phone of same unique radio signature including, but not limited to the Long-distance Control of simple key card style.Can apply such as region nearby and detect with fill order or from the same characteristic features user's direct command.The device of in addition, simulating the connection the Internet of simple off line electronic certificate can also pass on to be gone to or from the excessive data of locking system.

Figure 22 discloses the embodiment of another kind of example, wherein the user (2201) of new authentication by such as but be not limited to and inform that this user allows communication text message, Email, sending out notice or the third party's applicative notifications of pin code of its access locking system (2204) to carry out the message of their registration of confirmation of receipt.If carried out correct input on the keypad (not shown) on locking system, the authority that pin code can granted access several functions, including, but not limited to locking or release locking system (2204).Third party's application (2202) therein has been awarded to locking system (2204) and has sent in the situation of the authority of communicating by letter, the client of third party's system can process all communications of incoming terminal user, so that reception and registration and locking system and the relevant information of ability that order directly sent to this system.Sending out notice can be with context-sensitive, but in a kind of embodiment of example, web services sends sending out notice to portable electron device, notifies the state of this device locking system to change.Can also imagine, locking system for example, sends sending out notice while changing (have people with key manual unlocking door) at the state of this locking system.In the embodiment of an example, portable electron device sends a sending out notice to web services when the authorized user that is lock by user add.

Depend on the authentication that is transferred to third party's service, pin code can be transferred to third party's service from locking system service, thereby it can be conveyed to terminal user.Pin code can be configured with digital form.Can require user to input the pin code of user's special use together with the pin code of locking system special use.Alternatively, user can be awarded the pin code unique to each locking system, wherein uniqueness be angle from total key space of pin code, by the requirement of pin code length is determined.

When authorized user (2201) is input to pin code in the locking system (2204) of their authorized access at every turn, the input of pin code and any order sending can be transferred to locking system (2204) by web services (2202).If the user who gives an order (2203) removes or carries out a meeting by authorized user (2201) directly or indirectly and serves the action that authorized user is removed from locking system by third party from locking system, it is invalid that authorized user's pin will become.An example of this situation comprises cancels authorized user being scheduled to a space in special time.

The control panel assembly that Figure 23 introduction can be shown by third party's reservation service, this third party's reservation service is authenticated to be and represents that a user through authentication completely makes action to locking system.Under this scene, potential guest (2300) request is from providing the predetermined owner in space (2301) there a predetermined space.Third party's system can realize the inside story transmission (2302) between potential guest and owner.After agreeing to the schedule time, third party's system can, for this guest is from trend locking system request access power, be issued this guest at the access right of the time internal control lockmaking fixed system by predetermined appointment.

This third party's system can send the required information of access locking system from this guest of trend.Depend on this locking system, this can comprise pin code (as shown in 2301) or allow to arrange the link of locking system in mobile application.Alternatively, this third party's system can be asked an electronic certificate of locking system authentication, to be similar to the process of introducing above, accesses like that this system.

This third party's system can be controlled locking system to be directly incorporated in its control panel assembly (2303), and this control panel assembly allows guest change their unique pin code (if mandate) or send locking system order within this period and according to the plan of their license.

Third party device can with locking system direct interaction, as long as these third party devices have been awarded suitable unique identifier.Third party device and locking system direct communication, to send order.First this third party device generally can pass through pre-authentication, to send order in the identical mode of the mode with introducing to locking system above.This may mean, in locking system or locking system web services, unique identifier is used to be embodied as third party device grant access rights.

When the rolling token that is transferred to locking system, derivation when unique identifier is passed on or this device detected by the encryption approach signal from third party device, trigger locking system.Third party device sends to locking system constraint or the restriction that the ability of ordering can be subject to various planning chart and temporal constraint.Foundation sends to the order of locking system from locking system web services or third party's web services, the authentication of the use locking system of third party device can at any time be cancelled or reactivate.

When coming to communicate with locking system and locking system web services (configuring if so) with any third party's service or device, safety is all the problem of main consideration.May need communication channel between locking system web services and third party's web services in encrypted form, include but are not limited to: such as SSL, SSH, such standard or other the public or special-purpose encipherment scheme of AES.

Similarly, can to the direct communication between locking system and electronic certificate or third party device, be encrypted by various standard, such as combining, comprise bluetooth ^tM, bluetooth ^tMlow energy consumption, near-field communication, MiFare ^tM, Felica ^tM(Felicity card), Wi-Fi ^tM, WEP(wired equivalent privacy), WPA(Wi-Fi ^tMwPA PSK(wildcard) and those standards of other technologies protection access).MiFare is the trade mark of a series of chips of having of NXP semiconductor, is widely used in non-contact type smart card and contactless card closely.Customization encryption standard can according to circumstances substitute other encryption technology use or can be superimposed on increases extra safety on those technology.

Figure 24 introduction be web services control panel (2400), what this control panel was passed on is the ability that leading subscriber has: to locking system, send and receive order and invite other user to add this system (2403), check the data any buffer memory or real-time relevant with locking system or its state and identify the active user (2402) this system and the behavior that they do locking system from locking system.This control panel can obtain with the various forms for different application adjustment, including, but not limited to traditional desktop browsers interface, mobile phone interface, dull and stereotyped telephony interface or third party's interface.Depend on the authority of authorizing the user who checks this control panel, different information can be conveyed to this user.For example, certain user can be in the ability of access right that creates, changes, manages and cancel other users and is checked in the ability of log information and change to some extent.

Web services control panel (2400) can allow user to input can be as the extra identifying information of authentication token, this extra identifying information can have following form: the pin code of directly inputting on door, for sending text message to preassigned telephone number sending the pin code of order to door, for the pin code of arbitrary object, or any other sequence number or the secret token information relevant to offline e voucher such as key card or key card.

Can comprise identifier with other user-dependent information (wherein user is the agency of personage in system) (2402), such as but be not limited to individual photo, individual name, another name, e-mail address, telephone number, the state of web services, the state of locking system, associated rights.Other users being sent, changed or cancel the ability of virtual voucher also can be shown or be managed by this system.

New virtual voucher can send (2403) by various communication protocol, including, but not limited to Email, phone, text message transmission, application interface or third party's message, transmits.These vouchers can be authorized for different when and where scopes, including, but not limited to period planning table, beginning and closing time, the specified place of being determined by geodata, carry out definite specified place by powering up or do not power up radio by degree of closeness, one or many is used separately, and may require the people who is awarded these vouchers to use polytype authentication.The field of inputting virtual voucher can automatic filling identifier, such as but be not limited to the name that is registered to the user in this system or comes from the associated user of another third party's system, Email, photo, another name and or telephone number because send user type and letter and the identifier Dynamic Matching of invitation in field.Can be according to circumstances by this field extension for to input a plurality of identifiers for various people, to invite a plurality of users with same type voucher simultaneously, or according to circumstances invite the user of the type of credentials changing according to the algorithm (being increasing or decreasing) of asking.

Figure 25 discloses the log panel of being checked by web, mobile phone, panel computer or other browser interface by the user through authentication.The web services being associated with locking system can record a series of information, comprise and information-related and relevant with the physical change of the locking system information sending to locking system and receive from locking system, the information relevant with the unauthenticated user who attempts to access locking system, the information relevant with the event that is specific to web services itself, or with relate to web services or locking system or on web services or locking system through the relevant information of third party's web services of authenticating.

The action that user carries out can be pass on together with following message (2500), these information such as but be not limited to the date and time of name, another name, access, when the trial of the locking system that conducts interviews virtual key whether effectively, the action of expectation, come self-moving device, radio token, keypad, web interface, application interface or the result of third party's application and the method for using with degree of closeness, network site and type, geographical location information, the judgement virtual key of position.

By any data relevant to locking system of locking system or relevant web services or the two record, can be passed on out map (2501) is upper, this map can indicate the position of locking system or to locking system or web services sends or the position of any data transmission of receiving from locking system or web services.Whether this can approach this locking system by indicating user when locking system sends order.If the user who has authenticated has the suitable access rights to a plurality of locking systems, their coordinate all can be labeled on single map so.

Web services can be passed on the figure (23402) of the frequency of time dependent lock event on indication particular lock fixed system.User can have the ability of filtering following event, these events including, but not limited to time dependent unique user move, the action of time dependent particular type (, May in 2011 unlock events on the 1st number of times), the contrast of time dependent all kinds of journal entries (that is, from afternoon on April 1st, 2011 12:00 to afternoon May 1 1:00 the number of times of the lock event of carrying out self-moving device and the contrast of the number of times of lock event from locking system keypad).

The event recording can comprise the geographical position coordinates information that the source position of this order while sending order with user is relevant.This information can the geographical position coordinates information (2503) request directly be inferred and draw or can indirectly infer by IP address search technology from direct coding.Mobile client, web client computer, third party's client computer, fixedly keypad and reader may be required geographical location information to send to web services, so that successful execution order.

Figure 26 discloses the embodiment of the example that a kind of initial setting up that can make locking system simplified, thereby new user can be connected to locking system rapidly corresponding web services or the electronic installation of locking system and their compatibilities (such as mobile device, board device, laptop computer, desk-top computer, personal digital assistant or third party device) is directly matched.

The upper use of mobile device (2600) application corresponding with this locking system in the web services with being associated (2602) and the two communication of locking system (2601), makes it can authorize the initial pairing between new user and locking system.This initial pairing may be from some identifying information of new user, to they are authenticated for locking system, such as but be not limited to their name, another name, e-mail address, telephone number and photo.During initial registration, automatically send to other identifying information of web services can be including, but not limited to geographical location information, IP address information, cellular network information (if available words) and the relevant information of mobile device to moving application.

Locking system can be directly connected to mobile device (2600) via the common interface such as audio frequency or universal serial bus connection by wired connection (2601).Locking system will receive the program command from this mobile device, including, but not limited to about how to be connected to the instruction of web services and to be connected to local or the required any authenticate key of pairing of Wide Area Network or establishment and mobile device itself.

Pairing is processed completes and can stop other mobile device to carry out identical pairing to process, this pairing process be by the logic on locking system directly indication or on relevant web services, indicate.Initial user can allow other mobile device request and locking system matches and the help of web services can be recorded or obtain by web services to these requests.Can use the physical interface on locking system, such as keypad, button and other sensor, reset locking system, to can freely it be associated with mobile device.These interfaces can require to input particular code or the pattern of scale-of-two input, to this device is re-set as to new pairing mode.First the information relevant to any resetting event can be conveyed to relevant web services and can be triggered notice or other event on web services.

Figure 27 discloses direct connection the between mobile device (2701) and locking system (2702) in the embodiment of an example, mobile device (2701) can comprise sending and receiving ability with locking system (2702) simultaneously, thereby the application moving on these two devices can be passed on a series of programming, state and command information.This connection can show as audio frequency, sound or the microphone jack of various different sizes, such as those jacks general on mobile device.This connection can for the purposes of initial setting up and by locking system and available mobile device and network match, to locking system programme, reset locking system, to locking system, send order and from locking system accepting state.These can comprise that for initial safe to wireless network, connecting is WAN(wide area network), LAN(LAN (Local Area Network)) or the instruction of ad-hoc.These data can send in the mode of encrypting or do not encrypt.

Be initially connected with locking system or programmed events after, it can bind it by unique identifier itself with mobile device, thereby other device all can not be accessed identical programing function, unless first clearly authorized license by the application on original programming mobile device or web services.

Figure 28 discloses by drawing the magnitude of current of (draw) or it draws the locking system of the capabilities limits of electric current in time continuously on any single time point.This may be because locking system draws energy and intends battery through just using up for a long time from battery, or because it is by energy acquisition or the power supply of trick charge components of system as directed.

For the energy of locking system, can be to be stored by the energy storage technologies (2800) of any type that meets the physical constraint condition of locking system, its various batteries including, but not limited to capacitive means, different chemical character or mechanical energy memory storage.The proper circuit relevant to energy storage technologies can be guaranteed before the remainder of locking system is stored or utilized, and the hurtful erratic current of possibility and voltage are remained in safe level.

The energy of locking system can be from can through magnetic field rotate and generate electric current locking system inside stubborn hand (2801) or round the rotation of the similar locking system leverage points (2804) that fixedly lock shaft rotates, generate and catch.And any amount of machinery between locking system can be used to catch energy alternately, this energy then can be used to locking system or be stored in energy storage technologies (2800).These also comprise from vibration (2802) for locking system obtains energy, this vibration can cause from closing or open the parts relevant to locking system.The energy of locking system can be also to catch energy conversion device (2803) and generate and catch from being placed on the inner or outside photovoltaic of this device or other light.

Figure 30 discloses when still keeping original access control structure constant, is modified the locking system that uses and control by web services for being suitable for mobile device.This locking system depends on the access control technology of conventionally knowing and understanding, this access control technology consists of computer control (3003), computer control (3003) is when the electronic certificate reader (3001) connecting scans passive radio voucher (3000), and whether can locking, release, open or unlock or warning system (3002) if managing this passive radio voucher (3000).

Can be transformed traditional access control system, so that with replacing or augment existing electronic certificate reader with the microcomputer of mobile device or web services direct communication.Augment or replace reading device (3001) and can from data connect, detect or read the information from passive electronic voucher.This data signature can send in the mode of encrypting or not encrypting, the same with the situation of standard such as normally used Wiegand technology.If encrypted, this device can be deciphered related data with common disclosure or known private key.This device can be carried out the action of these data of resetting, so that simulation passive radio voucher.The simulation of this voucher should be seamless for the remainder of locking system, to original computer control (3003), should be especially more seamless.

Use together with mobile device (3005) and the web services (3004) that is associated, the user who has had for the radio token of original service can provide to the reader device of newly augmenting or replacing (3001) their token, thereby their voucher and their user account are matched.Once be paired, the user of mobile device can send order by the application on this mobile device, and such as locking or release, this application then can directly be transferred to this order the reading device of augmenting or indirectly pass on by relevant web services.The reading device of augmenting can be reset the radio token data being associated to original locking system controller, and the user who simulates hand-held original radio token has approached reader.

Once be paired, user just can or should be used for sending order through the third party who authenticates by mobile interface, web interface, text message interface.All these orders finally all can be carried out according to original access control computer system (3003), other ability that makes computer control can keep identical programming, record and use radio token to bring.If computer control will be refused simulation token out, can this situation be transferred to web services or mobile subscriber by several different methods.

By retaining existing framework, can, when the maintenance all programmings relevant to original calculation machine controller are constant, new web services and mobile available framework easily and be rapidly installed.In addition, web services (3004) can with computer control (3003) direct communication, to get around the necessity of augmenting reader components (3001).It is principal character that the reader components of augmenting can be take the proximity test technology of any series, comprises and resembles bluetooth ^tM, Wi-Fi ^tMor those radio of the such conventional mobile device radio direct communication of near-field communication.
